Movin' on up - or actually down and to the west

We are moving out little family to Chicago! Ryan got a job working for Starbucks in the downtown area. We are very excited and have wanted to move there for a long time! It is our favorite place to be. We have been praying about moving there for a few years. We have alwasy been waiting for God's perfect timing. We have made a few attempts at it, but it never seemed to work out. This time, we got the green light! We are headed down there the day after Christmas to look at apartments (we are leaving Gavin with my parents, so keep me in your prayers. It is so hard for me to leave him, even though I know he is in great hands and wont even think about me!). We will be moving to the northern part of the downtown area. Ryan starts his job on January 21st. It is our goal to be all moved in by the end of the second week in January! We are looking forward to following the Lord's leading as to where we will attend church. There are several churches that we plan to visit during our first few months. We know that the Lord will show us exactly where he wants us to serve. We are very excited and hope that everyone will come and visit us at some point! Please keep us in your prayers these next few weeks as we tie up any loose ends here in Michigan!
